Hi, thanks for your answer.
I did as you advised and now I have database of my country (checked by $psql 
osm   and select * from nodes limit 10; ). Now I need sth to serve the data 
over network. Are there any tools avilable, preferably cgi-scripts? 
If not, I can code sth tailor-made, BUT I have one problem with osmosis:
I understand that to read the data from a bounding box i run command:

$bin/osmosis \
--read-pgsql host="localhost" database="osm" user="osmuser" password="osm" \
--bounding-box top=49.5138 left=10.9351 bottom=49.3866 right=11.201 \
--write-xml file="-" 

or even simpler 
$bin/osmosis --read-pgsql host="localhost" database="osm" user="osmuser" 
password="osm" --write-xml file="test.osm"

But both give me following exception:

2011-01-13 01:07:37 org.openstreetmap.osmosis.core.Osmosis run
